Network Media Converter PLANET IFT-805AT

PLANET IFT-805AT is an industrial 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX network media converter designed to extend Ethernet links over fiber optic cable. It supports Fast Ethernet on the RJ-45 port and an SFP fiber connector, enabling distance extension up to 20 km depending on the SFP module. The compact IP30 metal case accepts DIN-rail or panel mounting and the device accepts 12–48 V DC input with low power consumption (about 3 W).

Advantages

The IFT-805AT offers steady network communication in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments thanks to a robust housing and industrial-grade components. It provides high immunity to electromagnetic interference and electrical surges, supports wide-temperature operation from -40 to 75 °C, and delivers flexible fiber performance via SFP modules. Built-in dual-redundant, reversible-polarity DC inputs increase availability for critical installations.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links from 10/100 Mbps copper to fiber optic networks
• Industrial environments such as factory floors and traffic control cabinets
• Network segments requiring immunity to electrical interference and surge protection
• Installations needing DIN-rail or panel mounting in compact enclosures

How to use

Mount the IFT-805AT on a DIN rail or panel in a suitable enclosure, connect the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet device to the RJ-45 port and insert the appropriate SFP module into the SFP slot, then connect the fiber cable. Apply DC power within the 12–48 V range to one or both redundant power inputs, observing correct polarity. The converter will transparently convert Ethernet signals between the copper and fiber interfaces without user configuration.

Recommendations

Select an SFP module that matches the required fiber type and distance (up to 20 km depending on module). Ensure power cabling and grounding meet local installation standards and place the unit in a ventilated location to maintain the specified operating temperature range.
